New Yorkers For Children: A Crowd One Could Drool Over…

The crowd that gathered at the Harold Pratt House on Tuesday night to celebrate the New Yorkers for Children Fall Gala was no joke, as the list of attendees could be considered better than the gold standard. This crowd of high profile designers, socialites, media moguls, PR magnates and fashion stalemates are all friends and supporters of New Yorker's for Children, a non-profit organization headed by Susan Burden and Susan Magazine that partners with the Administration for Children's Service to improve the lives of children in foster care in New York City. The festive cocktail party, sponsored by Vogue and Nordstrom, was to preview the New Yorkers for Children fall Gala taking place on September 16th.

We sipped cocktails, we mingled, we munched and we compared fashions. Everyone looked stellar because, of course, a few hours later the Whitney Contemporaries Biennial was about to commence. If this was a preview party for what is to come on September 16th, we are down.
